I have a few challenges to put up that I created over the weekend and this morning..
The latest challenge over at OFF THE RAILS is a 'free for all' challenge which is create anything and have fun.. well I bought an art journal a few weeks ago, just an A3 size one, to create in and learn how to use gelatoes etc and I thought I would try and decorate the cover.. Now be gentle with your comments as I am very much a learner when it comes to mixed media.. But at least I fulfilled one of the criteria for this challenge and that is to have fun... I gessoed and misted and texture pasted and misted and even had a little go at using some shimmer paint that was gifted to me by a lovely scrappy friend..
I thought the only title for my book could be my blog name, and so here is the end result..
Art journal cover..
All the things I put on the cover were from scraps, from die cuts I had cut out but did not use, so it was good to use some of them up..Closer view..
The latest card sketch for FEELING SKETCHY #84 was a lovely one.. and it looks like..
and my card..
and the sketch for STUCK?! March 15th looks like
and my layout using photos of my DD trying to take selfies with the horse we used to have here.. What is that saying.... never work with children or animals!!??hehe..Selfies with Blue..
There is still a week to get the SCRAP THE GIRLS challenge done to use hearts and/or doileys, as well as the
123 CHALLENGE BLOG which is to use
